Pinterest Referral Traffic Continues Growth

Posted on 7.11.2012

Social sharing platform Shareaholic has been tracking social phenomenon Pinterest, the pinboard-based portal that has captured the attention of the Web of late.

In January of this year, Shareaholic noticed that Pinterest was sending more referral traffic than Google+, LinkedIn, and YouTube combined and in February indicated that the site had beat out Twitter for referral traffic.

Shareaholic's most recent report reveals that, hold on to your virtual hat, Pinterest referral traffic continued to show growth in June (to the amazement of the naysayers - myself included) beating out Stumbleupon and even Bing's organic traffic.

As it stands today, Pinterest is inching ever closer to Facebook as a source of referral traffic. Can the growth of Pinterest continue? Share your opinon by commenting below.
